    Campground

    Beautiful Clean Comfortable Most sites have shade some time of the day. Centralized bath house with laundry. Pet friendly. Site are pull through & back in. Back in sites run by a creek & are super shady. Amenities: bath house, laundry, full hookups, fire wood, playground; discounts on trolley tour of old downtown Hannibal, cave tours, etc. They are building a mini golf & game area to be open summer 2024. The store/check in building has necessities & souvenirs. There is also a winery on site for Missouri produced wines. Very quiet during the week: we stayed Monday-Thursday & had very few other campers around.

    I would rate at 3.5 if possible. This park is more of a KOA…read morethan a Yogi Resort. There is no waking Yogi or tucking him in at night. There is no game time with Boo Boo or watering flowers with Cindy. There are days that pass with no characters seen in the park at all. Our experience: We arrived late at night. No welcome packet was left for us as most campgrounds will leave. There was a list of available sites for the night, which we used until open. Our reservation was thankfully on file and we were given directions to our site. The young lady at the front did advise us to take roads that would have us traveling the wrong way on the one lane roads. My husband had scouted ahead on foot and knew the correct path to take. This campground looses a full star because it is a yogi resort and yet there are only yogi characters on Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun. This was a giant bummer to my kids who have been to other yogi resorts that have allowed multiple visits per day. Adding the the loss of a star are the Yogi activities. Most of the activities here are pay additional. Again this is a huge disappointment in comparison to other Yogi parks. The rates here are more expensive than the Milwaukee Yogi Resort, where they have hourly activities for mostly free all week! The other star is lost over extra costs and constant lawn mower near our site with credit added back for cleanliness and seeing the owners constantly at work. We try to look on the positive so we shook off the loss of the Yogi Resort theme and got into what is available. Here are some pros and cons Pro- *The lake is always open. *The lake is said to be stocked. *The pool is lovely and kept well cleaned. *The pool is warm and entrance stairs are wide enough to accommodate those getting in and out at the same time. *The pool is 3 ft and 6ft. With the dividing rope erring on the side of caution ensuring children playing close don't fall off a sharp drop off. *The beach sand is dredged every morning leaving lovely looking beach. *The beach has toys to play on in the water. Great for little kids to enjoy climbing, jumping and sliding. *The campground is clean. No trash in sight. *Porta potty stations are close to lake and head of hiking trail. (Convenient with small kids.) *Grass is lush and a pleasure to have the kids play / fall on. *No fishing license required! *2 Old school playgrounds complete with hot metal slide and a merry go round free of governance system. This could be a con for some families. We happen to enjoy introducing the kids to classic memories like these. *Trash pick up at site daily. *Extremely quiet and empty Sun - Thurs. Con *There are geese at the lake, which means a lot of geese muck even on the beach. (The dredging does a great job of covering up this fact and there is a hose as wash up station on site) *The hours of office, pool, snack shack, beach toys are really short for a vacation site. Only 10 am - 6 pm. *We are not expert fishermen and couldn't catch a thing. Bummer for a stocked lake. We were not expecting a fish every cast. We tried different locations, different times of day, different baits and lures with no luck. *Most of the activities here are extra pay. (Play on beach toys, kayak, body board, Yogi crafts, and fire wood) *Too few places to fish with little ones (Unless you have a tent site on the lake.) With an empty park during the week we took over different camp sites easily. *No walk through trails in between camp sites meaning you need to walk the entire length of the road or find empty sites to cross through. (This is a large park with LONG roads but mostly empty during the week.) *Manicuring of the lawn happens at all hours of the day. At lunch they actually cut the grass on our campsite while we were inside. Thankfully we had cleaned up the kids toys that morning. The grass clippings were no fun on our rug outside the RV or on the kids toys. The lawn mowers and hedge trimmers were still going at 7pm during dinner. All of this activity following yesterday's Manicuring near our site. *The ranger station is far from the beach / pool side of park. *Yogi characters are not daily visitors. This park seems perfect for families trying to get away from hustle and bustle from the city. We are country dwellers looking for the energy and zing of traditional Yogi Resorts. There is no zing here. Peace and quiet except for the constant lawn scaping. There did appear to be staffing restrictions with the lack of hourly free events, which could be a sign of the economic times more than anything else. The owners clearly care about presentation and cleanliness. This is not a park we will visit again while we have really little ones but perhaps again in the far future. It looks like a blast for the 10 + age kids / grown ups with a strong leaning towards fishing or other lake activities like kyaking.

    came in on thursday,May,21. we were planning a fun memorial day weekend with golf carts and wibit…read morebands, we bought the "Smarter than the Average Bear" card which gave us $150 dollar value for $100 which was nice but nothing was open. We had called many times just to be left on hold for 10-15 minutes at a time, which i understand but not only that my family had nothing to do at a place where there's activity's every hour. Not only that the employees were driving like maniacs and almost hit our family a couple times when going around the lake, but they are so understaffed. Maybe if they got their staff under control my family would actually enjoy and want to spend our money here.i wouldn't recommend coming in on a thursday nothing to do and kids will be upset and bored.

    Im giving them a 3 star because it says it has free internet it didnt have at this time .and cable…read morewas being run not working yet .when we got there and hooked up we had no electricity. We called and with in 15 min maintenance was there and got it fixed . The park has nice spot large tree .but i guess a while ago storm came thu and tore up alot of stuff .there where jungle gym closed ,and slides close ,we was understanding that they had a dog park but they dont ! First night went to bathroom by the pool in campgrounds and there was mess in both stalls .went back in mid week and no tp.then went in again and it smelled of urine so bad i couldnt go in . I know there short staff but wow it was bad .i even told 1 of the worker there he said ok thank, The water park is where we spent most of our time .it was fun for all ages!

    Review: This is our 5th trip here, and unfortunately, it…read morewill likely be our last. The wave pool was closed due to algae--something we wouldn't expect on Labor Day weekend, when everything should be at its best. Several of the slides were leaking and in disrepair, the golf carts were not well-maintained, and the most disappointing issue was the lack of staff throughout the property. Over the years, we've watched the quality of this property steadily decline, which is a true shame because it was a wonderful place when we first started coming. Our kids are now aging out of this type of trip, but we wanted to leave this review for families considering a visit. Sadly, we can no longer recommend it--spend your money elsewhere at a property that is better maintained and staffed.
